RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Historically, female patients had worse outcome undergoing heart surgery. No recent data exist on gender-specific outcome after moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA). The aim of this large retrospective analysis was to investigate gender disparity in patients undergoing elective surgery of ascending aorta in MHCA at 24°C. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of 905 (33.3% female) cases of elective heart surgery in MHCA for ascending aortic aneurysm (90.9%) or severely calcified aorta (12.5%) between 2001 and 2015. Furthermore, 299 female and 299 male patients matched by propensity score were compared. Patients with dissection of the aorta were excluded. RESULTS: Women were older (68.4 ± 9.9 vs. 65.8 ± 11.6 years; p = 0.002), had higher logistic EuroSCORE I (18.4 [11.7; 29.2] vs. 12.3% [7.4; 22.6]; p < 0.001), and significantly shorter cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (132 [105; 175] vs. 150 [118; 192] minutes; p < 0.001), while mean MHCA time was longer (15 [13; 19] vs. 14 [12; 17] minutes; p = 0.003). Surgical procedures were less complex in women and they were treated more frequently by isolated supracoronary ascending aorta replacement (61 vs. 54%; p = 0.046). Postoperatively, men showed a higher incidence of neurologic complications (7.0 vs. 3.3%; p = 0.03). The 30-day mortality (women 4.9% vs. men 3.9%; p = 0.48) did not differ significantly, likewise after statistical matching (4.7 vs. 2.3%; p = 0.120). Age, CPB time, and blood transfusion, but not female gender, were risk factors for mortality in multivariable regression analysis. CONCLUSION: This study supports the hypothesis that female gender is not associated with increased short-term mortality or perioperative adverse events in elective aortic surgery in MHCA.

OBJECTIVE: Del Nido cardioplegia solution offers prolonged cardiac protection with single-dose administration; this is particularly interesting for aortic root surgery. However, there is a scarcity of data supporting its safety in adults undergoing complex cardiac surgery, such as aortic root repair. We hypothesized that del Nido cardioplegia solution and blood cardioplegia solution provide equivalent safety during aortic root surgery. METHODS: Between January 2015 and June 2018, 283 consecutive patients undergoing the Ross procedure (204) and valve-sparing operation (79) with del Nido cardioplegia solution or blood cardioplegia solution were 1:1 propensity matched (110 aortic root surgery), and outcomes were compared. Clinical patient characteristics and data were extracted from our local database for valve-sparing operations and for Ross procedures. RESULTS: Preoperative characteristics were similar between del Nido cardioplegia solution and blood cardioplegia solution after propensity matching (mean age, 48.6 ± 1.5 years). Median postoperative creatine kinase MB isotype did not differ between del Nido cardioplegia solution and blood cardioplegia solution (48.9 [14.9-300] µg/L vs 51.2 [12.4-116] µg/L for blood cardioplegia solution [P = .1]), but there was a trend toward higher troponin T levels with del Nido cardioplegia solution (748 [221-5834] ng/L vs 710 [212-3332] ng/L for blood cardioplegia solution [P = .07]). In patients with myocardial ischemia longer than 180 minutes, median creatine kinase MB isotype was higher in del Nido cardioplegia solution (75.1 [59.3-300] µg/L than in blood cardioplegia solution 60.5 [16.5-116] µg/L [P = .01]). Aortic crossclamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times were shorter with del Nido cardioplegia solution (163 ± 5 vs 181 ± 5 minutes, P = .01 and 145 ± 4 vs 161 ± 4 minutes, respectively, P = .006). Return to spontaneous rhythm was more frequent in the del Nido cardioplegia solution group (52% [29/55] vs 27% [15/55], P = .006). There was no difference in inotropic or vasoactive agent use (P = .8). Postoperative left ventricle ejection fraction was similar (0.54 ± 0.09 vs 0.55 ± 0.08 for del Nido cardioplegia solution and blood cardioplegia solution, respectively; P = .4). There was no difference between groups for perioperative mortality and postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Del Nido cardioplegia solution can be used as an alternative to blood cardioplegia solution in adults undergoing complex aortic root surgery, providing comparable clinical outcomes and improved surgical workflow. However, del Nido cardioplegia solution seems to be associated with increased myocardial injury, especially with extended myocardial ischemic times, but this finding did not translate into adverse clinical events. Caution is warranted in adopting this cardioplegic solution in aortic interventions requiring long ischemic times, and further study is required to establish its exact role in complex cardiac surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Acute aortic dissection Type A (AADA) is still associated with a high mortality rate and frequent postoperative complications. This study was designed to evaluate the risk factors for mortality in AADA patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 344 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for AADA in moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (20-24°C nasopharyngeal) between 2001 and 2016. RESULTS: The 30-day mortality rate was 18%. Nonsurvivors were significantly older (65.7 ± 12.0 years vs. 62.0 ± 12.5 years; p = 0.034) with significantly higher Euro-score II [15.4% (6.6; 23.0) vs. 4.63% (2.78; 9.88); p < 0.001)]. Intraoperatively, survivors had statistically shorter cardiopulmonary bypass times [163 (134; 206) vs. 198 min (150; 245); p = 0.001]. However, the hypothermic circulatory arrest time was similar between both groups. Postoperatively, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) (55.9 vs. 15.2%; p < 0.001), stroke (27.9 vs. 12.1%; p = 0.002) and sepsis (18.0 vs. 2.1%; p < 0.001) were significantly higher among nonsurvivors. The multi-variable logistic regression confirmed that older age, previous cardiac surgery, preoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), blood transfusion and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) were independent risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSION: Our analysis suggested that the reason for mortality was multifactorial, especially age, previous cardiac surgery, CPR, transfusion, as well as postoperative AKI were considered risk factors for mortality.

BACKGROUND: Exclusive use of Del Nido cardioplegia administration in all adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery has been studied for operative, postoperative and myocardial protection outcomes. METHODS: From November 2016 to October 2017, Del Nido cardioplegia was used in 131 consecutive patients (DN group). Using a propensity score, DN group was compared to 251 patients having received intermittent cold blood cardioplegia (CB group). RESULTS: Preoperative characteristics were similar in DN and CB groups. Operative outcomes were statistically different (p < 0.0001): cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (DN 105.9 ± 46.5, CB 131.2 ± 38.8); aortic cross-clamp time (DN 80.8 ± 35.5, CB 102.2 ± 31.3); operative time (DN 203.1 ± 65.0, CB 241.5 ± 54.7); total cardioplegia volume (DN 1328 ± 879, CB 3773 ± 1226); and peak glycemia on CPB (DN 8.2 ± 2.3, CB 9.0 ± 1.8). No statistical differences were noted in intensive care unit stay, hospital stay and hospital death. Myocardial protection outcomes were similar: discharge left ventricular ejection fraction (DN 52 ± 11, CB 51 ± 10); Troponin levels at the end of the surgery (DN 871 ± 1623, CB 1958 ± 854), day 1 (DN 853 ± 1139, CB 993 ± 8234) and day 4 (DN 442 ± 540, CB 463 ± 317). CONCLUSION: Del Nido cardioplegia use in all adult cardiac surgeries is associated with improved surgical efficiency. The design of larger trials including adults combined cardiac procedures and emergencies is needed.

Background Laboratory studies demonstrate glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) as a potent cardioprotective intervention, but clinical trials have yielded mixed results, likely because of varying formulas and timing of GIK treatment and different clinical settings. This study sought to evaluate the effects of modified GIK regimen given perioperatively with an insulin-glucose ratio of 1:3 in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Methods and Results In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial with 930 patients referred for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, GIK (200 g/L glucose, 66.7 U/L insulin, and 80 mmol/L KCl) or placebo treatment was administered intravenously at 1 mL/kg per hour 10 minutes before anesthesia and continuously for 12.5 hours. The primary outcome was the incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events including all-cause death, low cardiac output syndrome, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest with successful resuscitation, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia. GIK therapy reduced the incidence of major adverse cardiac events and enhanced cardiac function recovery without increasing perioperative blood glucose compared with the control group. Mechanistically, this treatment resulted in increased glucose uptake and less lactate excretion calculated by the differences between arterial and coronary sinus, and increased phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 and protein kinase B in the hearts of GIK-treated patients. Systemic blood lactate was also reduced in GIK-treated patients during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Conclusions A modified GIK regimen administered perioperatively reduces the incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. These benefits are likely a result of enhanced systemic tissue perfusion and improved myocardial metabolism via activation of insulin signaling by GIK.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of axillary artery cannulation for early embolic stroke and operative mortality, we retrospectively compared the outcomes between patients with or without axillary artery cannulation during open aortic arch repair with circulatory arrest. METHODS: Between January 2004 and December 2017, 468 patients underwent open aortic arch repair with circulatory arrest using antegrade cerebral perfusion and were divided into 2 groups according to the site of arterial cannulation: the axillary artery (axillary group, n = 352) or another site (nonaxillary group, n = 116) groups. Embolic stroke was defined as a physician-diagnosed new postoperative neurologic deficit lasting more than 72 hours, generally confirmed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: After propensity score matching, the patients' characteristics were comparable between the groups (n = 116 in each). The incidences of acute type A dissection, aortic rupture, shock, or emergency operation were similar between groups. The incidence of early embolic stroke was significantly lower in axillary group (n = 3 [2.6%] vs n = 10 [8.6%]; P = .046). Also, 30-day mortality (n = 3 [2.6%] vs n = 10 [8.6%]; P = .046) and in-hospital mortality (n = 3 [2.6%] vs n = 11 [9.5%]; P = .027) occurred significantly lower in the axillary group. CONCLUSIONS: Axillary artery cannulation reduced the early embolic stroke and early mortality after open arch repair with circulatory arrest. Axillary artery cannulation as the arterial cannulation site during open arch repair with circulatory arrest may be helpful in preventing embolic stroke and reducing early mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of single (intervention group: del Nido [DN], and histamine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate) versus multidose (control group) cardioplegia in the adult cardiac surgery patients. METHODS: Medical search engines were interrogated to identify relevant randomized controlled trials and propensity-score matched cohorts. Meta-analysis was conducted for primary (in-hospital/30-day mortality) and secondary (ischemic and cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB] times, reperfusion fibrillation, peak of cardiac enzymes, myocardial infarction) endpoints. Subgroup analyses were conducted for study design and type of intervention, and meta-regression for primary outcome included type of surgery and left ventricular ejection fraction as moderators. RESULTS: Ten randomized controlled trials and 13 propensity-score matched cohorts were included, reporting on 5516 patients. Estimates are expressed as (parameter value [OR, odds ratio; MD, mean difference; SMD, standardized mean difference]/unit of measure [95% confidence interval], P value). DN reduced ischemic time (MD, -7.18 minutes [-12.52 to -1.84], P < .01), CPB time (MD, -10.44 minutes [-18.99 to -1.88], P .01), reperfusion fibrillation (OR, 0.16 [0.05-0.54], P < .01), and cardiac enzymes (SMD -0.17 [-0.29, 0.05], P < .01) compared with multidose cardioplegia. None of these beneficial effects were reproduced by histamine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate, which instead increased CPB time (MD, 2.04 minutes [0.73-3.37], P < .01) and reperfusion fibrillation (OR, 1.80 [1.20-2.70], P < .01). There was no difference in mortality and myocardial infarction between single and multidose, independently of type of surgery or left ventricular ejection fraction. CONCLUSIONS: DN decreases operative times, reperfusion fibrillation, and surge of cardiac enzymes compared with multidose cardioplegia.

BACKGROUND: With the progressive aging of the population, aortic surgeons are caring for an increasing number of elderly patients. The objective of this study was to analyze early and late outcomes of aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest in patients aged 70 and above at our institution. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study including every patient aged 70 years or older who underwent aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest between January 1995 and June 2016 at our institution. Operative results were compared with the contemporary younger counterparts aged <70 years. In-hospital mortality and postoperative stroke were primary outcomes of interest. The main secondary outcomes included acute renal failure, reoperation for bleeding, and spinal cord injury. RESULTS: In the study population, the in-hospital mortality was 16.8% (21/125). Ten (8.0%) patients presented postoperative stroke, and 6 had temporary neurologic disturbance (4.8%). Spinal cord injury occurred in 1 (0.8%) patient. For elective interventions and type A aortic dissections, the in-hospital mortality and stroke rates were 4.6% (3/65) and 7.7% (5/65), 26.8% (11/41) and 12.2% (5/41), respectively. The proportion of non-elective interventions, including type A aortic dissection, and the type of neuroprotective strategy were similar in septuagenarians and younger patients. Patients aged ≥70 had significant shorter cardiopulmonary bypass, myocardial ischemia, and circulatory arrest durations, compared to their younger counterparts. The in-hospital mortality of septuagenarians and younger patients were similar for elective surgery (4.6% vs. 4.7%, P=0.900) and aortic dissections (26.8% vs. 15.1%, P=0.107). There was no statistically significant difference between the two age groups regarding postoperative stroke, spinal cord injury, renal failure requiring dialysis or reintervention for bleeding. Estimated 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival was 78.0%, 70.6%, and 65.7%, respectively. The 5-year survival for elective surgery was 74.9% and 56.0% for non-elective procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Aortic surgery with circulatory arrest in the elderly demonstrated favorable early and late results when compared with younger individuals, with an acceptable operative risk even under emergency conditions, and should not be denied only because of the chronological age of the patients.

Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is an intracellular protein that has been detected in the circulation in response to myocardial infarction. Hypoxia and cardiac surgery affect selenoprotein expression and selenium (Se) status. For this reason, we decided to analyze circulating SELENBP1 concentrations in patients (n = 75) necessitating cardioplegia and a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during the course of the cardiac surgery. Serum samples were collected at seven time-points spanning the full surgical process. SELENBP1 was quantified by a highly sensitive newly developed immunological assay. Serum concentrations of SELENBP1 increased markedly during the intervention and showed a positive association with the duration of ischemia (ρ = 0.6, p < 0.0001). Elevated serum SELENBP1 concentrations at 1 h after arrival at the intensive care unit (post-surgery) were predictive to identify patients at risk of adverse outcome (death, bradycardia or cerebral ischemia, "endpoint 1"; OR 29.9, CI 3.3-268.8, p = 0.00027). Circulating SELENBP1 during intervention (2 min after reperfusion or 15 min after weaning from the CPB) correlated positively with an established marker of myocardial infarction (CK-MB) measured after the intervention (each with ρ = 0.5, p < 0.0001). We concluded that serum concentrations of SELENBP1 were strongly associated with cardiac arrest and the duration of myocardial ischemia already early during surgery, thereby constituting a novel and promising quantitative marker for myocardial hypoxia, with a high potential to improve diagnostics and prediction in combination with the established clinical parameters.

OBJECTIVE: Del Nido cardioplegia (DC) has been used extensively in pediatric cardiac surgery but the efficacy and safety in adults remains uncertain. Our objective was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing DC and blood cardioplegia (BC) in our primary endpoint of 30-day or in-hospital mortality as well as other efficacy and safety endpoints. METHODS: Both MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from 1996 to 2017 for studies comparing DC and BC. Data were extracted by 2 independent investigators and aggregated in a random effects model. RESULTS: One randomized controlled trial (n = 89), 7 adjusted (n = 1,104), and 5 unadjusted observational studies (n = 717) were included. There was no difference in in-hospital mortality between DC and BC (relative risk:0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.22, 2.07; P = 0.49). DC reduced cardioplegia volume requirements (mean difference [MD]:-1.1 L, 95% CI, -1.6, -0.6; P < 0.0001), aortic cross-clamp time (MD: -8 minutes, 95% CI, -12, -3; P = 0.0004), and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times (MD: -8 minutes, 95% CI, -14, -3; P = 0.03). DC reduced troponin release (standardized MD: -0.3, 95% CI, -0.5, -0.1; P = 0.001). In-hospital outcomes of stroke, atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury/dialysis, low cardiac output state, blood transfusion, reoperation rate, postoperative left ventricular EF, intensive care unit length of stay (LOS), and in-hospital LOS were comparable between groups. CONCLUSIONS: DC is a safe alternative to BC in routine adult cardiac surgery. Its use is associated with reduction in CPB and aortic cross-clamp times and may potentially offer improved myocardial protection.

PURPOSE: In this study, we aimed to assess myocardial protection and ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing open heart surgery with isothermic blood cardioplegia (IBC) or hypothermic blood cardioplegia (HBC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 48 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting or isolated mitral valve surgery between March 2017 and October 2017 were evaluated as randomized prospective study. Study groups (HBC: Group 1, IBC: Group 2) were compared in terms of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, and complement factor 3a (C3a) levels, metabolic parameters, creatine kinase-muscle/brain (CK-MB) and high-sensitivity Troponin I (hsTn-I), and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Comparison of the markers of ischemia-reperfusion injury showed significantly higher levels of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 in the early postoperative period as well as IL-8, in Group 2 (p <0.001), whereas the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was significantly higher during the X1 time period (p = 0.11) in Group 2, and subsequently it was higher in Group 1. Using myocardial temperature probes, the target myocardial temperatures were measured in the patients undergoing open heart surgery with different routes of cardioplegia, and significant differences were noted (p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: HBC for open heart surgery is associated with less myocardial injury and intraoperative and postoperative morbidity, indicating superior myocardial protection versus IBC.

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to evaluate the on-pump beating-heart technique of coronary artery bypass in patients with acute myocardial infarction and left main disease, and to retrospectively compare the early postoperative results with those of conventional on-pump arrested-heart coronary surgery. METHODS: Eighty-five patients with acute myocardial infarction caused by left main disease, who underwent emergency surgery between January 1998 and April 2017 at Saiseikai Utsunomiya Hospital, were enrolled in this study. Of these patients, 56 were evaluated using propensity-matched analysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure: group A ( n = 28) had on-pump surgery on the arrested heart, and group B ( n = 28) had on-pump surgery on the beating heart. Early postoperative results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Preoperative and intraoperative characteristics showed no significant differences between the two groups. The peak creatine kinase myocardial band level was significantly lower in group B (group A 151 vs. group B 91 IU·L-1, p = 0.01). The early mortality rate was higher in group A than group B, but the difference was not significant (group A 28.6% vs. group B 17.9%, p = 0.53). CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant advantage based on surgical procedure between on-pump beating-heart surgery and on-pump surgery on the arrested heart. On-pump beating-heart coronary artery bypass grafting significantly reduced the peak creatine kinase myocardial band level, but there were no significant differences in the early postoperative data, including the mortality rate and left ventricular function.

OBJECTIVES: The optimal hypothermic level during circulatory arrest in aortic arch surgery remains controversial, particularly in frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedures. We describe herein our experience for total arch replacement with FET technique under moderate systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest (≥ 28°C) during selective antegrade cerebral perfusion. METHODS: Between January 2009 and January 2016, 38 consecutive patients underwent elective total arch replacement for various aortic arch pathologies with FET technique using the E-vita Open hybrid prosthesis (Jotec GmbH, Hechingen, Germany). Selective unilateral or bilateral cerebral perfusion under moderate systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest (28.7°C ± 0.5°C) was used in all patients. Minimally invasive total arch replacement with FET via partial upper sternotomy was performed in 15 patients (39%) and in the remaining 23 patients (61%) via full sternotomy. Mean late follow-up was 3 ± 2 years and was 98% complete. Clinical data were prospectively entered into our institutional database. RESULTS: Cardiopulmonary bypass time accounted for 198 ± 58 minutes and the myocardial ischemic time 109 ± 29 minutes. Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion time was 55 ± 6 minutes. Lower body circulatory arrest time was 39 ± 11 minutes. Unilateral cerebral perfusion was performed in 31 patients (82%), and bilateral in 7 patients (18%). Intensive care unit stay was 4 ± 3 days. Thirty-day mortality was 5% (n = 2). Late survival at 3 years was 87 ± 3%. Two patients (5%) required reexploration for bleeding. Patients were discharged after a hospital length of stay of 7 ± 2 days. Postoperative permanent neurologic complication occurred in two patients (5%). Three patients (8%) experienced a transient neurologic disorder. New transient renal replacement therapy was necessary in three patients (8%). No spinal cord injury was noted. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that moderate systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest (≥ 28°C) in combination with antegrade cerebral perfusion can safely be applied for total aortic arch replacement with FET and offers sufficient neurologic and visceral organ protection.

We studied myocardial protection during coronary artery bypass graft surgery using low-volume cardioplegia (Cardioplexol) and minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) for different types of coronary artery diseases. In total, 426 consecutive patients were included and divided into four groups: those with left main stem stenosis (n = 45), those with three-vessel disease (n = 200), those with both (n = 141), and those with neither (n = 40). The peak postoperative myocardial markers and 30-day mortality were analyzed. Both myocardial markers and 30-day mortality were significantly elevated in patients with isolated main stem stenosis. We conclude that the use of low-volume cardioplegia and MECC is safe. However, patients with underlying isolated left main stem stenosis might be less protected.

BACKGROUND: We analyzed the adequacy of the myocardial protection achieved with a single dose of retrograde crystalloid Celsior®, compared with an accepted standard (microplegia), in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). METHODS: This was a retrospective comparative clinical study conducted in a single institution that included all the patients operated on who had elective isolated on-pump CABG, from March 2006 to June 2014. We evaluated maximum postoperative troponin T (TnT) as a marker of myocardial damage, adjusted for possible confounders using propensity score matching. We also analyzed markers of recovery of myocardial function, and the safety of the intravenous use of Celsior®. RESULTS: During the study period, 261 patients were included, divided in two groups: (a) continuous retrograde blood-based microplegia (114 patients); (b) retrograde single-dose crystalloid Celsior® (147 patients). The propensity score adjusted maximum TnT was significantly lower in the Celsior group [average treatment effect = -0.55 ng/dl; 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.10 to -0.1 ng/dl; p = 0.048]. There were no differences in the postoperative use of intra-aortic balloon of counterpulsation or in the requirements of high-dose inotropic medications. In-hospital mortality was equivalent in both study groups ( p = 0.73); surgical re-exploration because of bleeding was equivalent ( p = 0.37). There were no differences in prolonged mechanical ventilation ( p = 0.65) and intensive care unit length of stay ( p = 0.87). CONCLUSION: An isolated single dose of retrograde Celsior® may be an effective and safe myocardial protection strategy in on-pump CABG.

BACKGROUND: We sought to determine the outcome of suicidal hanging and the impact of targeted temperature management (TTM) on hanging-induced cardiac arrest (CA) through an Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) multicenter retrospective study. METHODS: We analyzed hanging patient data and TTM variables from January 1992 to December 2015. Cerebral performance category score of 1 or 2 was considered good neurologic outcome, while cerebral performance category score of 3 or 4 was considered poor outcome. Classification and Regression Trees recursive partitioning was used to develop multivariate predictive models for survival and neurologic outcome. RESULTS: A total of 692 hanging patients from 17 centers were analyzed for this study. Their overall survival rate was 77%, and the CA survival rate was 28.6%. The CA patients had significantly higher severity of illness and worse outcome than the non-CA patients. Of the 175 CA patients who survived to hospital admission, 81 patients (46.3%) received post-CA TTM. The unadjusted survival of TTM CA patients (24.7% vs 39.4%, p < 0.05) and good neurologic outcome (19.8% vs 37.2%, p < 0.05) were worse than non-TTM CA patients. However, when subgroup analyses were performed between those with an admission Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3 to 8, the differences between TTM and non-TTM CA survival (23.8% vs 30.0%, p = 0.37) and good neurologic outcome (18.8% vs 28.7%, p = 0.14) were not significant. Targeted temperature management implementation and post-CA management varied between the participating centers. Classification and Regression Trees models identified variables predictive of favorable and poor outcome for hanging and TTM patients with excellent accuracy. CONCLUSION: Cardiac arrest hanging patients had worse outcome than non-CA patients. Targeted temperature management CA patients had worse unadjusted survival and neurologic outcome than non-TTM patients. These findings may be explained by their higher severity of illness, variable TTM implementation, and differences in post-CA management. Future prospective studies are necessary to ascertain the effect of TTM on hanging outcome and to validate our Classification and Regression Trees models. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level IV; prognostic study, level III.

OBJECTIVE: The preferred arterial cannulation site for elective proximal aortic procedures requiring circulatory arrest varies, and different sites have been tried. We evaluated the relationships between arterial cannulation site and adverse outcomes, including stroke, in patients undergoing elective aortic arch surgery. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 938 patients who underwent elective hemiarch or total arch surgery with circulatory arrest between 2006 and 2016. Five cannulation sites were used: the right axillary (n = 515; 54.9%), innominate (n = 376; 40.1%), and right common carotid arteries (n = 15; 1.6%), each with a side graft; the ascending aorta (n = 19; 2.0%); and the femoral artery (n = 13; 1.4%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to model the effects of cannulation site on adverse outcomes for the entire cohort and for a subcohort of 891 patients who underwent innominate or axillary artery cannulation. Propensity-matching yielded 564 patients (282 pairs) from the right axillary and innominate artery groups. RESULTS: For the entire cohort, mortality, stroke, and composite adverse outcome (operative death or persistent stroke or renal failure at hospital discharge) rates were 7.0%, 4.1%, and 9.8%. In the multivariable analysis of the axillary/innominate subcohort, cannulation site did not independently predict operative mortality, persistent stroke, or composite adverse event. These results were confirmed with the propensity-matched analysis, where both axillary and innominate artery cannulation provided equivalent composite adverse event rates, operative death rates, and overall stroke rates. CONCLUSIONS: During elective arch surgery, right axillary artery cannulation and innominate artery cannulation (both via a side graft) produce excellent results and can be used interchangeably.

BACKGROUND: Choice of cardioplegic solution plays a pivotal role in special subgroups of patients referred for on-pump cardiac surgery. This retrospective analysis aimed to assess the impact of intermittent warm (Calafiore, Cala) versus intermittent cold blood cardioplegia (Buckberg, Buck) in patients referred to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery due to acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHODS: From 2008 to 2015, all consecutive patients undergoing urgent on-pump CABG surgery due to ACS (n = 950) were retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative cardiac arrest was achieved using Buck (n = 273) or Cala (n = 677). Patients were compared regarding clinical outcomes and perioperative myocardial injury (PMI). Propensity score matching was performed to control for differences in preoperative patient characteristics. RESULTS: Prevalences of left main stenosis >50%, COPD, and advanced New York Heart Association (NYHA) class were higher for intermittent warm blood cardioplegia (IWC)-patients while more Buck-patients had preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and redo procedures. Buck-patients needed more intraoperative defibrillations and showed longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic clamping times. 30-day all-cause mortality (10.6 versus 9.3%), major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (52.7 versus 48.6%), and PMI (50.5 versus 55.7%; all p > 0.05) rates were comparable for Buck- and Cala-patients. Propensity score matching resulted in equal group sizes (n = 212 each) and balanced distribution of preoperative covariates. Although more Buck-patients still needed inotropic support >24 hours postoperatively (25.7 versus 14.7%; p = 0.005) compared with Cala-group, outcome variables of interest did not differ between treatment groups (30-day mortality: 7.5 versus 9.0%; MACE: 49.5 versus 40.6%; PMI: 48.1 versus 37.3%; all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Buckberg and Calafiore cardioplegia offer comparable myocardial protection and similar postoperative results in patients undergoing CABG surgery due to ACS.

OBJECTIVES: Surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) remains a surgical challenge with considerable risk of morbidity and mortality. Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) has been popularized, offering a more physiologic method of brain perfusion during complex aortic arch repair, often necessary in setting of AAD. The safe limits of this approach under moderate-to-mild systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest (≥ 28°C) are yet to be defined. Thus, the current study investigates our clinical results after surgical treatment for AAD in patients with a selective ACP and systemic circulatory arrest time of ≥ 60 minutes in moderate-to-mild hypothermia (≥ 28°C). METHODS: Between January 2000 and April 2016, 63 consecutive patients underwent surgical treatment for AAD employing selective ACP during moderate-to-mild systemic hypothermia (≥ 28°C) with prolonged ACP and circulatory arrest times. Patients' mean age was 59 ± 15 years, and 39 patients (62%) were men. Hemiarch replacement and total arch replacement were performed in 13 (21%) and 50 (79%) patients, respectively. Frozen elephant trunk, arch light, and elephant trunk technique were performed in nine (14%), six (10%), and three patients (5%), respectively. Clinical data were prospectively entered into our institutional database. Mean late follow-up was 6 ± 4 years and was 98% complete. RESULTS: Cardiopulmonary bypass time accounted for 245 ± 81 minutes and the myocardial ischemic time accounted for 140 ± 43 minutes. Mean duration of ACP was 74 ± 12 minutes. The mean lowest core temperature accounted for 28.9 ± 0.8°C. Unilateral ACP was performed in 44 patients (70%); bilateral ACP was used in the remaining 19 patients (30%). Intensive care unit stay reached 6 ± 5 days. New onset of acute renal failure requiring hemofiltration was observed in 8% of patients (n = 5). New postoperative permanent neurologic deficits were found in five patients (8%) and transient neurologic deficits in six patients (10%). There was one case of paraplegia. Thirty-day mortality and in-hospital mortality were 8 (n = 5) and 11% (n = 7), respectively. Overall survival at 5 years was 76 ± 9%. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary data suggest that selective ACP during moderate-to-mild systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest (≥ 28°C) can safely be applied for more than 1 hour even in the setting of AAD.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the outcomes of minimally invasive aortic valve surgery were similar in younger versus older patient groups, as well as whether concomitant minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgeries added significant risks in these populations. METHODS: We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of 1018 patients undergoing isolated AVR and 378 patients undergoing concomitant AVR procedures over a 6-year period. All surgeries were via a right minithoracotomy approach, and patients who underwent reoperation were excluded. RESULTS: Mortality was 1.3% in the isolated AVR group and 3.2% in the concomitant AVR group. The incidence of permanent stroke was low in both the isolated and concomitant AVR groups (0.8% and 1.1%, respectively). In both groups, femoral cannulation was associated with equally low stroke rates (0.8% and 0.6%, respectively). When analyzing operative outcomes by age, mortality was similar for the isolated AVR group (age <80 vs ≥80 years, 0.9% vs 2.2%; P = .07) and the concomitant AVR group (<80 vs ≥80 years, 3.2% vs 3.2%; P = .99), whereas transfusion requirements, intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay, and atrial fibrillation rates were greater in the older subsets of both AVR groups. CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive right thoracotomy AVR surgery was associated with low stroke and mortality rates in all age groups within 30 days of surgery. Similarly, minithoracotomy concomitant AVR surgery demonstrated excellent results and is deemed feasible in patients with multiple pathologies.
